Impossible to Deal with President Deals

Nonsensical babble:

I suppose one of Trump’s rich buddies from Canada wants to fly a Gulfstream, and Trump is such an out-of-touch rich guy that he thinks that the only jets Bombardier makes are private jets, so he doesn’t know that he just decertified a bunch of the regional jets that are the backbone of US commercial airline fleets, including the CRJ series and the Airbus A220 family.

If we’re going to try to analyze why Trump would do something like this, my guess is that someone translated Mark Carney’s speech to a third-grade reading level and then pantomimed it to him in the Oval.

Some of Trump’s people also met with Canadian separatists from Alberta, so there’s that. (Alberta has a lot of “Maple MAGA” Trump lovers, and some of them want Alberta to secede. This is not a popular point of view in Canada, to say the least.)

Moving south, after what Claudia Sheinbaum characterized as a “productive” and “friendly” call with Trump yesterday, Trump signed an EO today that threatens tariffs against any country that exports oil to Cuba. Mexico is one of those countries.

Just a constant stream of fuckery from Trump towards our (formerly) closest allies and good neighbors. It never ends.

I don’t trust the FBI to conduct an investigation into Pretti’s death. I think they’re completely compromised and corrupt. Every lawyer in the DOJ who went along with the coverup of ICE crimes (so all of them) is also hopelessly conflicted out. The rot has spread - it’s systemic now. The honest lawyers already got out.

I think (hope) most normies are now thusly mistrustful as well due in no small part to the immediate victim blaming and then, when called out for the smearing, the top perps blaming each other in a circular firing squad.

Useful for contacts/reminding Senate over the next two weeks in case ICE doesn't double down in the meantime.

Ongoing list of dead, maimed...

"We are publishing a running list of deaths and woundings as a result of the interior enforcement blitzkrieg across the country. That includes deaths during apprehension and deaths in custody. This will be consistently updated. Currently, there are 8 dead, 9 wounded, & 35 deaths in custody."

"Q: What do you think the UK getting into business with China?

TRUMP: It's very dangerous for them to do that, and it's even more dangerous for Canada to get into business with China. Canada is not doing well. They're doing very poorly. And you can't look at China the answer."

Speaking of rich buddies,

"LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: Kevin Warsh—expected to be Trump's Fed chair pick—is the son-in-law of Trump donor Ronald Lauder (billionaire Estée Lauder heir), who convinced Trump in 2018 of the need to annex Greenland (and then invested heavily there), and who benefits from the Ukraine rare-earth deal?"

Posting a link to the pompous, insufferable “Harper’s Letter” our silly elites produced because they were worried about “free speech” Now that Trump is arresting journalists they’ve all gone silent.

So there was that one journalist who got raided, and now they have arrested Don Lemmon. This is not looking good.

I expect a full-throated defense of Lemon by the media just like they leapt to the defense of their “sister” Fox News.

Will Bunch: "The only crime Don Lemon commiitted was public drunkenness on New Year's Eve."

Trump is insanely jealous of Carney.

While Trump is watching his wife's movie bomb, Carney is hanging out with the stars of the hottest show on streaming, Heated Rivalry:

That was last night -- when Trump hears the news he's going to be even more pissed.

I wish I could get my family into Canada. My two granddaughters are in an east coast Lefty enclave so safe for now but I’d like to get the two sons in Ohio out.

One of the local volunteer firefighters is concerned that the refusal to certify Canadian aircraft is going to mean that we cannot fight fires this summer. He said:

"One of the wildfire pundits posted elsewhere today that Trump is decertifying all Canadian firefighting aircraft. So that means no super scoopers and a lot of missing jump planes this summer if true." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadair_CL-415)

Canada also sent fire fighting equipment to help with the LA fires. And this is the thanks they get. Why would they want to do anything for us in the future?

Kay W.9 months ago

Well, he’ll back down. He always does. Carney will win another round, like he’s won each and every round with Trump. Because Carney is smart and Trump is a moron.

My knee jerk reaction is that he will back down in this situation...until I think it thru a bit.

If massive summer wildfires break out in one of the wingnutty, Rocky Mountain states like oh, I dunno, WY or ID, absolutely he'll back down.

Here in CO? He'll let the mountains burn to a crisp.

I've got a friend who's a longtime firefighter in Summit County and this winter's drought has him absolutely dreading what could happen this year. It's so bad, they've put all their wildfire stuff back on the trucks...IN JANUARY, because it's so explosive up there.
